“find” of the day. 2005 Buick Century, 20k otiginal miles. Been sitting 8 years, since the 94 year old owner quit driving then died. She bought it new and its been tangled in probate since her death five years ago.

As with all my cars, three digit price tag. I think I can get it running and make a buck.

You have to pull the front diff to make it reasonable. It's a lot. I just bought OE. I thought about attempting to get some from Greg. But I actually wanted them to arrive.

its about a 30 min job with the diff out. you can get to the bolts with a long extension from the top of the engine bay.

On the left side, easy. I couldn't find a way to do it on the right side. But since I have no axle or suspension in the truck, was able to get them from the wheel well.

Sinus infection = no Bueno.

Took a sick day on Friday, and don't feel the least bit bad about it. I've not taken a single sick day since I started there in February, and it literally felt like my sinuses were going to explode.

On the plus side, the wife says we can go to overland expo in Colorado next year. Might even take a week and hit a few trails as well.

Also, you should never feel bad about taking a sick day. Ever. If you need to take a day, you take a day.

Oh, I'm aware.

Also, I think I might order some prg shackles for the truck, to go with the ome front kit to bring up the rear, and then swap for full leaf springs down the road.
